Vieira Communications had applied for a radio licence since 1993 and the court said yesterday that both the
government and the NFMU failed to acknowledge receipt of the application. Vieira was
charged in 2001 with setting up an unauthorized radio station after the NFMU traced
an audio transmission to his Versailles station, but the case was later dismissed for
want of prosecution. He has since sold his TV station to the Ramroop Group and has migrated.
